I propose to conduct practice-based research into the development and analysis of new methodologies and tools that comprise embodied techniques from algorithmic performance to improve web-based interfaces' transparency and legibility to foster users' wellbeing. Central to this proposal is the understanding of embodiment as physical engagement grounded in and emerging out of everyday experience [18]. Body-centered approaches provide an in-depth understanding of the actions we perform online and can fundamentally inform and advocate for a system's transparency [19]. So far, I have built a body [20] of work that explores how choreographic methods provide alternative insights on how programming language structures shape the creation of our web environments. The work has materialized in various formats among these, live coding performances, which is when computer code often for audio-visual composition is written live [22] in front of an audience. By intersecting corporeal awareness and improvisational skills from live-coding practices, I aim in my PhD to develop a new design space for engaging with, challenging and reflecting upon user-interface paradigms. I will partner with the Wellcome Collection, who brings a thoroughly documented open-source and community-driven digital infrastructure to work with. Moreover, the Wellcome's focus on improving health and wellbeing has already led to unique strategies around transparency, accessibility, inclusion and outreach in the development of their web platforms. The work developed during the PhD will culminate in an online publication that will document the research and practice. It will operate as a toolkit with design resources, code assets, documentation on the tools made, such as browser plug-ins and extensions to be devised apace with the participatory design process at the Wellcome Collection. Ultimately, the toolkit will stimulate critical and reflexive conversation within the academic, cultural and industrial communities in the development of web-based user-interfaces fostering well-being and equitable algorithmic futures.

我建议对新方法和工具的开发和分析进行基于实践的研究，这些方法和工具包括从算法性能到提高基于网络的界面的透明度和易读性的具体技术，以促进用户的福祉。这一提议的核心是对化身的理解，即身体参与根植于日常经验中，并从日常经验中浮现出来。以身体为中心的方法提供了对我们在网上执行的行为的深入理解，并可以从根本上告知和倡导系统的透明度[19]。到目前为止，我已经建立了大量的工作，探索编舞方法如何为编程语言结构如何塑造我们的web环境的创建提供了不同的见解。作品以多种形式呈现，其中包括现场编码表演，即在观众面前现场编写用于视听作品的计算机代码。通过将身体意识和现场编码实践中的即兴技能相结合，我的博士学位目标是开发一个新的设计空间，用于参与、挑战和反思用户界面范例。我将与Wellcome Collection合作，他们带来了一个完整的文档化的开源和社区驱动的数字基础设施。此外，惠康对改善健康和福祉的关注已经导致了其网络平台开发中围绕透明度、可访问性、包容性和拓展性的独特战略。在博士学位期间开发的工作将以在线出版物的形式结束，该出版物将记录研究和实践。它将作为一个工具包，包含设计资源、代码资产、工具文档，如浏览器插件和扩展，将在惠康收藏的参与式设计过程中迅速设计出来。最终，该工具包将激发学术界、文化界和工业界在开发基于网络的用户界面方面进行批判性和反思性的对话，以促进福祉和公平的算法未来。
